HOW ARE MEMBERS CHOSEN
It was first come first serve for those were able to pay $160. Members get deprioritized if organizers have had issues with them in the past (i.e. frequently late, never brings a white shirt, overly aggressive, not a team player, etc). Besides that the aim is to make this a very open group. I started as a member myself before I became an organizer 2 years later.

The fees for Non-members are $16 per game

Why do members get priorities. Because they shared the costs of guaranteeing the facility is paid for.
